Bag-in-Box for Alcoholic Beverages Packaging
Bag-in-box packaging, or BIB, is a two-piece packaging format. It consists of an outer corrugated box that serves as the shell. Within this “shell” is a flexible bag that contains the product. The flexible bag is typically outfitted with a spout or fitment that’s designed to keep the product contained and allow for maximum product disbursement. Noting this type of makeup, you can see how it’s such an ideal packaging format for alcoholic beverages packaging.
3 Key Benefits of Bag-In-Box Packaging
It helps extend product shelf life:
This is perhaps the biggest advantage of the bag-in-box format. Yes, the flexible bag helps keep the product that it’s storing fresh. The bag is also designed to be durable enough to prevent leaks or breakage. The bag also prevents oxygen from entering. But then there’s the corrugated box that acts as the shell, which also helps preserve product shelf life. Specifically, it doesn’t allow any light to come through, which could impact product quality.
It makes for user-friendly dispensing:
Bag-in-box is also a very convenient packaging format. The spout that’s inserted into the flexible bag allows for easy, user-friendly dispensing. All you need to do is push it out through the perforated part of the corrugated box to release it, then you can begin to dispense the product that’s inside the bag.
It’s offered in bulk quantities:
Bag-in-box is also available in bulk quantities. At CDF, our bags range in size from 1 liter to 25 liters. We’re also able to customize solutions to meet any requirement.
40% = 34.7 million tons
According to a Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) study, nearly 40% – or 34.7 million tons – of all produced foods are sent to landfill each year.
Environmental Impact
There are more benefits to BIB, and one of the most significant is how it’s a more sustainable solution compared to conventional formats. The corrugated box portion of the package is fully recyclable, making this solution one that’s better for the environment and one that can help any brand meet its sustainability goals.
Beyond recyclability, BIB packaging also has other environmental benefits. For instance, it’s a format that stacks easily and makes it easier to store in warehouses and on trucks. Noting this, you can often fit more packages in fewer shipments, which can help save on transportation costs and reduce carbon emissions. Furthermore, BIB tends to be a lightweight packaging format, which can further help reduce vehicle emissions during transportation.
Cost Effectiveness
An additional benefit to switching your alcoholic beverage packaging formats is the cost savings that are likely to come with it. Flexible solutions are more economical than conventional rigid solutions and can represent savings that can be passed along to your customer.
